  • Will Nigeria need 450,000 Mt of soybeans in 2022/23?
  • In MY 2022/23 FAS Lagos forecast that Nigeria will require 450,000 MT to fill the consumption gap. On the soybean front, non-GE soybean is being planted to meet a niche demand in global markets. This is affecting domestic supply. As a result, the poultry sector is facing high feed costs.
  • Why did soybean production increase in Nigeria?
  • The production increase is attributable to favorable grower prices and sustained high demand for soy meal by the poultry sector. FAS Lagos forecasts Nigeria’s soybean oil consumption in MY 2021/22 to reach 170,000 metric tons (MT), up nearly 58 percent greater than the USDA official MY 2020/21 estimate of 112,000 metric tons (MT).
  • How to plant soybeans in Nigeria?
  • The seedbed may be prepared manually with a hoe or animal-drawn implement or tractor (Fig. 1). Well-prepared land ensures good germination and reduces weed infestation. Planting can be done on ridges or on a flat seedbed. Selected soybean varieties grown in Nigeria are presented in Table 1. Choose a variety suited to your agroecological zone.
  • How much soybean is consumed in Nigeria?
  • FAS Lagos forecasts Nigeria’s soybean consumption in MY 2021/22 to reach 1.275 million metric tons (MMT), up 38 percent compared to the USDA official MY 2020/21 estimate. Consumption is growing in response to greater demand in food processing and feed use.
